Now, let's dive into today's episode...

Today’s Cash Flow Diary podcast guest, Mike Glauser (a.k.a., the Main Street Entrepeneur) has done something not many entrepreneurs have. He bicycled across America talking to small business owners about what makes our country’s entrepreneurs tick! He visited 100 cities and learned a great deal. 

But before he hit the road he went through the college track, earning his PhD in his 20s. In his first teaching position (in which he would be teaching business organizational skills) it hit him that 1) he was the youngest guy in the room, and 2) if he is to teach actual business owners and those who were there to learn how to take their businesses to the next level he should first obtain the experience of business ownership. 

So he did. 

Mike opened a business with his wife and it did amazingly well. Far more quickly than he imagined possible, their business became Very profitable. The next thing Mike knew, he had received a phone call by someone who wanted to buy the business. 

Long story short, Mike wasn’t interested in selling, but then there was a negotiation that ended in an all-cash offer. It was a life-changing event. Now he could get back to the classroom and teach entrepreneurship differently. He would get out and talk to entrepreneurs in the field, somewhat like an entrepreneurial anthropologist. 

The next step was to write books about his adventures. Mike has an unwavering passion about helping entrepreneurs launch companies. He does it today through The Jeffrey D. Clark Center for Entrepreneurship. The cool thing is that Mike teaches from the trenches and not from only an academic knowledge base.

In this episode you will learn about the mindset shift you need to make to become an entrepreneur and how it isn’t for the “faint of heart.” One must have a passion for what they want to do starting a business. You’ll also learn why more people don’t become entrepreneurs. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Learn more. Listen now.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

Chatting with Jim Bunch was an eye-opening experience for me. I learned a few things and you will, too. Listen in to hear us discuss the four levels of wealth. What are they? Repair and Recovery, Foundation, Resources and Mastery. Jim has a lot to say about these levels and how we can turn our lives around to reach the success and wealth we desire. He calls it living life by design! We talk about cash flow creation, too. Jim says that there is a path we must follow that leads to wealth. I won’t give it away here, but can say that managing the areas of our lives leads to cash flow creation, which in turn leads to financial freedom! Oh, and it takes action on our part. The difference between those who succeed and those who just wish their lives could change is that the successful take action. Like Jim says, they DO something. If opportunities are laid at your feet and you do nothing, it’s guaranteed that nothing will change. Jim will be up on stage with me as one of John Assaraf’s guest speakers at the upcoming and very exciting, quite possibly life-changing Money2 event. We hope to see you there. If you can’t make it, the event will be streamed live. Tune in for that event. For now, listen in on this Cash Flow Diary podcast interview!

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

On this special episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast, which is a little rough and raw as we try out some new recording technologies (plural), we have three guests from to diverse areas of the world that all share the same focus: Investing in laundromats! Guests Cisco and Doris Calderon are in California earning impressive cashflow with theirs; Thomas Landenburger does the same in Italy! 

Thomas wasn’t always a real estate entrepreneur. He attended college in Wisconsin and then entered the Marine Reserves. After seeing the hottest desserts and coldest winters in Wisconsin, he left the Marines and hit the road to travel the world. He met a woman in Greece, got married and opened a pastry shop. Then he opened a bed and breakfast in far-off lands, sort of like the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. Thomas was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug pretty hard, which brought him to opening his first laundromat in Italy. 

As for Cisco and Doris, their path was a little different. They met in a dance class at Cal Poly Pomona, fell in love and headed to Arizona. Facing some struggles they decided to return to California. Because they were in the tech industry, which bottomed out in about 2008-ish – which also meant they no longer had good jobs – they were forced to look at their future a little differently. Like they’d have to create their own future through being entrepreneurs. The couple decided that owning laundromats would be the ticket to success. (But it wasn’t an easy decision, according to Doris, because Cisco is a full-speed-ahead kind of guy and she’s an on-the-edge-of-the-cliff-of-fear sort.)

So why laundromats? Because they serve people who need them very badly. In California, the Calderons’ customers don’t have a washer and dryer at home. For Thomas laundromats make sense because in Italy dryers are a luxury item. He says it’s funny to him because he feels like he’s changing the tradition in Italy. He adds that even little old ladies who have always hung their laundry out on the line are using his dryers!

If you want to know how to open a laundromat, this is the episode for you. You’ll enjoy the personal stories from our guests. You’ll even learn what it cost them each to start their first laundromats, plus the differences between the businesses. You might want to reach out to these individuals through Facebook. Learn more. LISTEN NOW.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

What do Cash Flow Diary podcast guest John Klymshyn and host J. Massey have in common? More than you might think! Listening to this sales-centric episode will delight your ears and tickle your brain, because John and J. cover a lot of ground when it comes to what it takes to be a great salesperson. As a top sales trainer for the past 16 years, John has learned a thing or two about sales and negotiations. He says one of the keys to sales success boils down to developing great listening skills, and adds that effective selling has nothing to do with convincing others to do anything.

John also stresses the importance of being very clear about whom you choose to serve and having a fair exchange of value. This impressive 7-time published author, trainer, coach, speaker, entrepreneur, business owner, husband and father developed a trademarked process to help us move conversations forward successfully so we can close more sales. He also wrote a book a few years back, The Ultimate Sales Managers’ Guide, which continues to sell well for a reason.

It’s his deep understanding of the sales process and human behavior. But John wasn’t always so knowledgeable. He said, like anything worth doing well, it took a lot of training and practice. Listen in as John talks about his very first sales job. As you listen, put yourself in John’s shoes during the experience and you might cringe. He was shown to his desk, handed a phone book and told to start dialing. He was also told that if he didn’t close a deal quickly he’d be shown the door. John watched a lot of people walk past his desk and out the door for good. He didn’t want to be one of them, so he listened and learned. Who did he listen to?

A mentor sitting right in front of him… the top sales producer for the company. What did he learn? How to listen! A self-proclaimed “language fanatic,” John says that he loves language because it is the great Grand Symphony of life. But that is just the beginning. John Klymshyn has a lot to say about a lot of things… and they are all critically important to us as entrepreneurs. You absolutely will want to grab a notebook before listening to this episode, because you will want to take notes. Be prepared to get schooled on the art of the sale and learn a whole lot of other good stuff, too, including how to get through your dark nights of the soul!

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

No matter what you want to do in life means you’re going to have to learn new skills to get there. That means you are going to stumble a bit moving forward as you gain new talents and skills. 

The funny thing is that we all have an addiction to looking good. However, you cannot learn and look good at the same time. That includes doing real estate transactions. 

It’s not that these transactions are difficult to do, but if you’ve never done one before you have a few new skills to learn. Then you get to add to your skills. Then you keep adding to your skill set until you don’t just know one way to do real estate investing but many. For example, getting properties under contract using all the cool creative acquisition strategies that are open to you to use! 

The truth is that you should never stop learning new things. We’re not just talking about strategies; we’re talking about business and leadership skills, communication skills, marketing skills and every other thing you have to do as a business owner. And you will be growing a business as you learn new skills. 

You may start out as the Lone Ranger, wearing all the hats, being responsible for everything and doing it all as a wholesaler (which means you buy properties at a discount and sell properties at a discount). But you won’t be able to continue on that path. You will have to build a team or teams (according to how many deals you start doing), and you will be a business owner. So you will keep learning. You will keep building your credibility. You will teach others. You will wash, rinse and repeat your process as you get to the success goals you set for yourself! This is what you learn in this episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast. Learn more. Listen now.

When it comes to getting real estate transactions done, our members rock!! One of the reasons for their successes (plural) is that they stay involved in our private Cashflow Creators PRIVATE Facebook group. In fact, some members have partnered up and others are doing deals with each other. It’s amazing what can happen when you put a bunch of likeminded people together.

I thought you might get a kick out of listening in on one of my Q & A with J. Massey web shows. If you’re not a member you can’t get in to participate in this weekly live online show. If you are a member, you get to log in every Tuesday at 4 p.m., PST, watch me answer questions that were either submitted ahead of time or roll in through the chat box. It’s fun for me, because as the members do more deals their questions get a little more involved. I love that!

Of course, there are real estate investors at all levels in our membership, so I get lots of basic questions, too. I love educating the new person as much as I do the seasoned investor. And, believe me, there are all types in this amazing group! If you want to experience membership, good news… you can try it for 30 days for a buck!!

I hope you enjoy this episode. There’s nothing particularly unique about it, but it should give you a real good idea of what these weekly hour-long episodes are like!! Enjoy. LISTEN NOW.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

As we move through this month and this $100K series I have the honor of interviewing individuals who earn a whole lot of cashflow from their ventures and interests. The focus of these interviews is on how these people felt the first time they experienced a $100K month. Cash Flow Diary guest Ryan Moran – a killer entrepreneur, marketing specialist, speaker, author and new daddy – says for him it was like breaking through a glass ceiling that really wasn’t there. Once he hit that mark he realized that he was the only one holding him back, and that all the BS he bought into about not being able to reach this level. He did it, and not just once. For him how to get there was demystified, and now he wishes he could give people a pill to make them understand that they really can get to their financial goals. Ryan says that hitting his first $100K month didn’t feel much different than when he hit his first $10K month. Now he’s aiming at earning a million dollars in a month! Ryan says hitting high-dollar goals boils down to systems. Ryan says the first step is finding the leads and market to them on a continued basis. The second step is to be bold and ask for bigger dollar amounts in what you’re selling. Listen in on this fantastically empowering interview as I discuss with Ryan the importance of lead generation and automating your marketing. This is something my team and I have had to learn to do, and it’s something you need to learn if you want to be successful. Listen to all Ryan has to say about the importance of making mistakes… and how if he hadn’t made a number of mistakes that he wouldn’t be where he is today. Ryan also talks about the difference between failure and feedback. The latter is very valuable to other people because you can educate others on what not to do! Learn more.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

Senior Vice President of Communications at RealtyTrac, Daren Blomquist tells stories about the housing market in a unique way. He does it with data! That means the story is very, very accurate. Maybe that’s why RealtyTrac is so widely used by professionals in the real estate industry and investors alike. 

Before Daren was the “Data Geek” he is today, he was a newspaper reporter in Illinois. A big part of his job was researching, using data to help him write stories and learning how to paint the big picture for readers. Eventually he moved to California where he joined a little startup company in the customer service department. Daren says that was a really good thing, because he got to talk to a lot of customers. It gave him the inside “Trac” on what they wanted. That information comes in handy to Daren in his current position. 

Today, Daren is one of the company’s longest-term employees and has been with RealtyTrac since 2001. A noted real estate expert – on home sales trends, tax and deed loan information, property values; investor and cash sales share of the market, foreclosure activity and rates as well as extensive neighborhood and environmental data and overall housing market trends.

Daren is directly responsible for the creation of the company’s comprehensive real estate reports, which are cited by thousands of media outlets nationwide — including all the major news networks and leading publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and USA TODAY. He has been quoted in hundreds of national and local publications and has appeared on many national network broadcasts, including CBS, ABC, CNN, CNBC, FOX Business and Bloomberg.

One of the things Daren says RealtyTrac wants to stay true to is being transparent. He says it’s not about “spin” but the full picture of what’s going on in the real estate market. At its core, RealtyTrac is a data provider, and while its strong suit is foreclosure data the company continues to evolve. Now there is total transparency in the data they provide so that investors can use the site to determine is a property is a go or no-go deal. 

At www.RealtyTrac.com you can access their entire and incredibly impressive database of properties using a massive number of filters to find only the types of properties you like. (That’s called knowing your Investor Identity!)

While the data reflects US properties only, there are plenty of international investors who use the system to figure out good investments. This includes commercial properties. So everything you are interested in, from single-family houses to multifamily properties to commercial properties, you can find them on RealtyTrac.

Daren is also a trend spotter. According to his data, he’s seeing a few trends in the market today. The most noticeable is that the market is trending back from a distressed market and adjusting to the middle of the road. While that’s good for now… there’s big change coming, because the market trends are cyclic. Already there are indicators that certain bubbles are going to burst soon, because in some areas there are extreme pricing peaks. San Francisco is one of those markets.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

Have you ever struggled to get everything done in the 100+ hours you have each week? If you want to CRUSH IT as a productive person, no matter what you are doing in your business and life, listen to this episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast! It is taken from a recent Periscope session I did, which is something I’m doing a lot of lately. (Cuz it is that awesome!)

If you haven’t started following me there yet, why not? You are missing out on pretty cool live learning opportunities. Go to www.periscope.tv/cashflowdiary and join. 

So what’s it take to be more productive? First, you need to set goals and structure a plan to get there. You back into your plan. For example, let’s say you want to raise $25,000 this week. What steps are you going to take to do that capital raise? What assets do you have that you can use that will help you?

By that I mean… do you have a podcast? Do you Scope? Do you have an eBook, checklist, or other thing you can sell right now that you own and control to raise that money? The long and short of it is that you should be using your time to create assets that you don’t just sell but that you can also use to show other people that you are the local expert in what you are doing… let’s just in real estate investing. 

Now, let’s just say you need $25K and you have a couple of assets already. Let’s say you have a product that sells for $1000. How many units do you need to sell this week to get to your goal? You have to devote the time to marketing that asset. With today’s at-our-fingertips technologies, that part’s a whole lot easier than it ever has been. 

Here’s the deal… we all have the same amount of time each and every day. We all have different schedules, but we can all find the time to devote to creating new assets. I’m not just talking about assets you can sell, like an eBook, but also building your real estate portfolio. It all boils down to finding the time to do those things you say you want to do. (I promise it will take lots of late nights and burning the midnight oil at first, but the outcome is way worth it.) 

In this episode I talk about structuring your plan in a way that will make sure you get to your goals every week. Like how many people you need to talk to in order to set 20 appointments this week… which is particularly crucial if your goal is to raise capital for your real estate deals. You’ll learn WHY you want to set appointments and what you’re going to talk to them about. You’ll also learn the importance of backing into your plan. 

This is a golden learning opportunity. While the main focus is on productivity boosters I also answer a whole bunch of questions on different topics inside and outside real estate. Don’t miss it. Learn more. Listen now.

Dear Future Top Performer,

Are you tired of working harder instead of smarter in your STR business? Here's a wake-up call: The most successful hosts aren't grinding 24/7 – they're leveraging a proven formula that transforms average properties into profit powerhouses.

Let me share something game-changing with you...

There's a simple yet powerful equation that's revolutionizing the STR industry:
L × C × F × M = GP

• Generate consistent leads without burning out
• Convert browsers into eager bookers
• Maximize guest frequency (hello, repeat customers!)
• Amplify their margins while others race to the bottom

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

You might have noticed that I’m really into livestreaming lately, and because it’s a great way to reach more people become bigger, badder, better real estate investors and entrepreneurs I’m going to keep doing it. For the most part you’ll see me live on Periscope. If you want to follow me there so you know when I’m going live (because the app sends you a quick alert right before I go live), go to www.periscope.tv/cashflowdiary.

In this episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast you’ll get to listen in on one of my first few Periscopes. The topic is value-driven business and how to be successful in business and entrepreneurship. You’ll also realize pretty quickly why I’m doing Periscopes. My reach immediately expanded. There are viewers from all over the globe. That’s pretty cool.

The long and short of it is that being in business for yourself is possible if you so decide. But you must make a shift in your mind first. You have to decide that you want to provide value of some shape or form. For me it’s real estate investing; for you it could be something else. But here’s the deal… if you have a passion for something, you aren’t serving your purpose unless you go for your dreams. 

Life is not a video game, folks. It’s not like you get a bunch of do-overs. While failure with things you try will be a part of your success, stopping short of your goals isn’t going to do anything to change your life… and not taking steps in the first place isn’t going to do much either. 

In this episode you will hear my story again, because I’m talking to a new audience and they don’t know me. If you notice, your story can become part of your message in business. It helps to humanize you and show people your WHY of doing what you do. You’ll also hear a lot of good information that you can use right now… today… if you choose to use it. That’s why I’m doing my podcast, livestreams and live events; that’s why my team and I continue to build great educational materials and opportunities… to share my information and motivate you to become the entrepreneur you want to be.
